Strap

'It's about hopelessness and darkness', says Aidan Moffat. 'But in a fun way'. The Arab Strap frontman is speaking about the band's seventh studio album and their first since 2005's 'The Last Romance'

Following their critically-acclaimed UK Top 20 album “As Days Get Dark”, Arab Strap return with their 2nd long player for Mogwai’s Rock Action Records with the excellent titled “I’m totally fine with it 👍don’t give a fuck anymore 👍”. Almost 28 years after their debut, Arab Strap have never sounded more essential, and this new record is a fierce testament to their laser focus on wider horizons. Written and performed exclusively by Malcolm Middleton & Aidan Moffat, and finessed with longtime collaborator Paul Savage, the album furthers the band’s transformation from swooning, slow-core romantics to raging, alt-pop chroniclers.
